Spring Flowers
I love tulips. They are my favorite spring flowers – simple in form yet elegant. I eagerly look forward to them in our own garden every year. Unfortunately, they are also a favorite among the deer. We got away with it for the past two years but the deer finally discovered our stash of tulips […]
Farmers Market at Shaker Square
The pictures below were taken on our trip to the North Union Farmers Market at Shaker Square around middle of April. The Farmers Market had only just opened the Saturday before. It was still kind of early in the season, so there wasn’t much produce yet. We did purchase a few things including some strawberry […]
A Beautiful Spring Day
These pictures were taken fairly early in Spring (note the leafless trees, and bare flowerbeds). Look at how blue the sky was in the first picture. It was my kind of a perfect spring day – cool but sunny, with a cloudless blue sky. We don’t get many clear, sunny days like this over here, […]

Birch Trees

Lego Creator – Cargo Copter

Alex Helping to Make Green Tea Ice Cream
We were making Green Tea Ice Cream a couple of weeks ago and below are pictures of Alex adding sugar to the egg yolks and whisking them together to get the mixture ready for tempering. We still can’t convince him to try the food he helps make but he loves making them. Someday, maybe he’ll […]
